Dutch Iris Valentine
M5640
Description
Whilst the rhyme for Valentine’s Day mentions red roses and blue violets, the velvety, purple-indigo blooms of Dutch Iris ‘Valentine’ are sure to win your heart. The magnificent indigo colouring is brightened by a dash of contrasting gold, framed against narrow, reed-like foliage.
Like a mischievous Cupid, this variety has angelic form, with tall upper petals reaching towards the heavens and lower petals (known as ‘falls’) outspread like wings.
This distinctive shape complements a range of other spring-summer blooms such as alliums and camassia, providing versatile variety for your borders and floral arrangements.
